Lent: Journey According To LukeSample

‘WELL DONE, MY GOOD SERVANT’

DEVOTION
All believers are commissioned to preach the Gospel, to set up a church for Christ in the world, to bring the nations to the obedience of faith, and to build them up in it. ‘You shall receive power to do this, for you shall be filled with the Holy Ghost’ - Acts 1:8. All Christians have business to do for Christ in this world. We are called to do business for Christ as he furnishes us with gifts necessary for his business; he gave us power and he expects service. He delivers the pounds with this charge - ‘Go work and Go trade’. We must continue to do our King’s business till our King comes back, whatever difficulties or opposition we may meet within it; only those that endure to the end shall be saved.

Jesus has been exalted as King and will return in glory soon. We are his servants who have each received something to work with, to bring some return on investment. It’s not too late to put all of our gifts and abilities to work for him. Not too late yet.

FOR REFLECTION
• When your King returns will he say to you ‘Well done, my good servant’?

PRAYER
Lord Jesus, thank you for trusting me with gifts and abilities and opportunities. Forgive me for wasted time and opportunities. Help me to learn how I can be most productive for your Kingdom. I do love you Lord and want you to be able to count on me as a ‘good and faithful servant’. In Jesus’ Name! Amen.
